Originals Volume 5 CD

The tracklisting for Felix Dickinson's instalment of the famed Originals series on Claremont 56 was such a closely guarded secret that even Julian Assange's attempts to get his mitts on them were thwarted at every turn. So you can imagine our sense of childlike excitement when a batch finally arrived on the Juno doorstep this week. The man known to the discothoque as Foolish Felix is known and loved in London and beyond for his eclectic DJ sets and impeccable taste, and as such there's a wide spectrum of underappreciated, obscure gems here, from the languid salsa strut of Kolbe-Illenberger-Dauner's "Fun Tango" to the dubby brilliance of "Feeling Sleazy" by Fingers Inc, a track which predates the current vogue for sexual minimal house by, oh, a decade or two. This is an essential addition to your collection that matches up to the previous efforts from Sean P, Moonboots and Matthew Burgess & Jolyon Green. Strictly limited release.
